Short Verso Poems

She looks down at the street
As the rain fall
Busy cars passes by
As her mind drifts
She imagines dragons
All small or tall
And fairies are walking
Carrying gifts

My soul and rain are one
lost in despair
like an empty cold street
made of cut stone
neither ever escapes
its solitaire
languishing in darkness
both are alone!

Again this loneliness
Again this pain
Like a desolate place
Oh my heart aches
Heavens come to my aid
I grieve in vain
Let us together cry
Ere love forsakes!

As fragmented skies weep
My night of gray
Monochrome memories
And cobblestone
Dreams silently await
The break of day
when suddenly I hear
The telephone!

Drenched in ashen night
My thoughts are gone
Where a road pales afar
My shadow torn
Like a moan in the flesh
Weeping upon
A trail of love’s vignettes
Stained by rainstorm!

(Wined Floor)

The wine brewed without
Drip drop drip drop
Visual temptations lured me
My bronze tresses wet
Down the nape to my soul
Red painted toes
Danced on the wined floor
Decked for love.

Deep inside the sorrow
Hollow words ring
Again to be shut out
March through the heart
Pain in the solitude
Always will bring
Angst for a future lost
At death we part!

Dampened Dreams


Beauty wrapped in sadness
Hot tears fresh taste
Cooling pools of despair’s
Harsh salted lie
Blur the vision of love
No longer chaste
In dim streetlights envy
Faded dreams dry!

Third night of loneliness
mixed thoughts in brain
Her heart bleeds for her love
doorway she stays
As her soul travels through
tunnel of pain
This road she'd never walked
why now?she says.

my soul is torn in two

trapped  in this tomb

in anguish  and despair

do I dare run

hide in shadowed alleys

my scars  consume

thoughts I cannot forgive

hope there is none

A quiet night like this
Has its twin stilled
Yet echoes in my heart
A siren song
Notes find their way to yours
Till flesh is filled
With urgent steps for home
For each we long!

Rejuvenated 






All desires washed away 
The azure weeps
To dark night's illumine
Sobs subtle heart
Some reflections of past
Usurp my sleeps
As all life rests tranquil
For a fresh start !

She sits with heavy heart
Watching the rain
Pouring relentlessly
As feelings flow
Warm tears run down her face
Easing the pain
Until the deluge stops
And street lights glow!

She’ll never give up hope
He will return
Searching all avenues
Calling his name
Longing to hear his voice
Full of concern
Since Rover slipped the lead
Life’s not the same!

Like the note she let fall
her heart is torn
With the downpour she weeps
while far away
on streets where hell rained down
Night is reborn
blood on slick stones now washed
from where he lay!

Words: 44 Numbers: 9


Lay down
Back straight
On Mother Earth
meditate
Breathe in 3
Hold in 5
Release in 7
Be the connection
between earth and heaven
Connect the dots
with hands and feet
In figure 8
the circuits complete
We are 3 times 6
made manifest
In 360 degrees
we face this test.

A wood stove takes some work
to keep it lit
and is in fact a job
for younger men
With wood to chop and haul
and then to split
and just as you sit down
it's time again!

Alone


Beside this window my
tears flow like rain
with pain of loneliness
through my stark night
Like a dark blank street where
lamps shine in vain
I cast bright hopes in my
own unseen light!

Y ahora el camino
palabra de espiga.

Ahora me nombras
palabra de verso.

Ahora me atas
palabra de sueño.

Ahora me asustas
palabra de negro.

Ahora me tocas
palabra de beso.

Y entonces me miras
palabra de espejo
y ante tu mirada contemplo mi aspecto.

Y ahora cerezos
la voz de jardines
palabras de lluvia
gotas de silencio....

Lost in grieving autumn 
 
were worn out words    
    
that trickled down like rain 
        
then fell like stones
         
I listen harder now
 
and they are heard 

But now the voice just asks
  
to be alone!

Falling so hard for you
        beat will not wane
dark blue nights dreary cold
      ran down your street
   to see if you were home
      tapped on your pane
   come feel my soft touch
        dance on bare feet!

I'm looking for rare verse to cover my mouth, let my chest throb ... May it be flawless May It be absolute... Verse of chaste love ... It can be a smack it can be a kiss !

      Busco um verso raro
      desses que me faça
      calar a boca... 
      Que faça palpitar
      o péito...
      Possa ele ser absoluto,
      possa ele ser perfeito...
      Verso de divinal amor,
      pode ser só uma beijoca,
      pode ser um grande beijo... !...
